Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost...but now am found
Was blind...but now I see

T’was Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace my fears relieved
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed

When we’ve been there...ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We have no less days...to receive God’s praise
Than when we first begun

Through many dangers...toils and snares
I have already come
‘Tis Grace hath brought me safe thus far
And Grace will lead me home

Far away I’ve roamed...Far away from home
Far away...from my kin...folk and home
And I hear...Far away...the pipes do play
And I know I will be going home

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost...but now am found
Was blind...but now I see
Was blind...but now I...see.....

Amazing Grace
